Comments:
The Rodger
The Rodger Dodger casting was issued in two colors, the standard Plum and the Alternate Blue. The Alternate Color
Blue Rodger Dodger is arguably the rarest of the Alternate Colors with only a handful of surviving examples.
Any Rodger Dodger with a white interior is also very rare and desirable.
1974 Rodger Dodger with Capped Rear Wheels
The early releases of the Rodger Dodger had capped rear wheels which transitioned to through holes all around.
Rodger Dodger Bases
The early releases of the Rodger Dodger had metal bases but eventually this was changed to chromed plastic.
The base was derived from the 1973 Show Off casting as is visible in the bar on the plastic version.
1977 Gold Chrome version
